One thing you also have to consider is the machine shop bill. Take mine for example:

$6200 just in machine shop labor.

Not sure if I was clear. $300 long block included a perfectly fine crank and set of rods, only needing examining, balancing, and new fasteners. $1000 machining bill.

Going with an efi system that includes coil packs also saved the price of all the MSD pieces (about $600 per Barry_R's list above).

I am fully aware that for some people the cost is secondary. And more power to the economy and all hail them. Some of us care (a little) about value for money spent.

I'm enjoying mine, I'm glad you're enjoying yours. I hope everyone gets what they want and are happy.

Happy Happy Happy
